// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Four hundred tests, each spending eleven seconds on the login page. That is 73 minutes of CI time re-testing one form. Playwright's answer: authenticate once, save the state, reuse it everywhere.

This quiz covers storageState mechanics, the setup-project pattern, what gets saved (and what does not), and multi-role strategies.

Speed bonus active.
